This may be difficult for some people to swallow (ahem!), but scientists from Germany’s Robert Koch Institute have turned up forensic genetic evidence that supports the likelihood of Europe’s e.coli superbug being bioengineered in a lab.
It appears that someone has figured out a new way to turn food into weapons.

Could this e.coli outbreak be a deliberate act of biological warfare against innocent people? Read my analysis to learn more:

Types of agents
Category B
Category B agents are moderately easy to disseminate and have low mortality rates.

• Brucellosis (Brucella species)[29]
• Epsilon toxin of Clostridium perfringens
• Food safety threats (for example,, Salmonella species, E coli O157:H7, Shigella,
• Staphylococcus aureus)

E. coli Genome Manipulation by P1 Transduction

This unit describes the procedure used to move portions of the E. coli genome from one genetic variant to another. Fragments of ~100 kb can be transferred by the P1 bacteriophage. The phage is first grown on a strain containing the elements to be moved, and the resulting phage lysate is used to infect a second recipient strain. The lysate will contain bacterial DNA as well as phage DNA, and genetic recombination, catalyzed by enzymes of the recipient strain, will incorporate the bacterial fragments into the recipient chromosome.

Manipulation Of The E. coli Chromosome For Optimizing Production Strains

by Dr. Tim Zeppenfeld, Dr. Harald Kranz and Gary Stevens

Biotechnological methods are being pushed forward for in use industrial production processes, termed white biotechnology, that include biotransformation, fermentation and metabolic engineering.

Metabolic engineering stands for targeted modifications of genes in the metabolism of microorganisms for optimizing their production efficiency. Possible modifications affecting production of strains are targeted deletions and the resultant inactivation of genes, selective variations in expression of single genes, or additional insertion of specific genes into the bacterial genome.

Among other things, Escherichia coliis used for the production of aromatic amino acids such as L-tryptophan, L-phenylalanine or L-tyrosine, of carotenoids or for the production of shikimic acid used as starting material for chiral compounds

Metabolic pathways, which are to be modified for the production of different substances, affect not only the usability of different carbon sources but also the isoprenoid-2 and carotenoid biosynthetic pathways and the common metabolic pathway for the production of aromatic amino acids
